Farmer FAQs
Whole milk powder-based CMRs provide a high casein component for a good curd, just like nature intended. Delivering good nutrient supply and uptake for the very best start to life.
Discover what's really going on inside your calf's first weeks of development ->
When it comes to animal nutrition, whole milk is hard to beat - that’s why it's best to choose a quality calf milk replacer, that resembles natural whole milk from the cow. Learn about how milk composition impacts calf digestion.
When a calf drinks whole milk or a curding milk replacer, it bypasses the rumen and enters the abomasum, where it curds and is slowly digested.
What's the difference between casein vs. whey-based CMRs? Michael Shallcrass, Fonterra's Senior Veterinary Manager explores this topic. Natural cow's milk contains 80% casein and is vital for early growth and rumen development.
